Overview

• Maxwell had argued that Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 Florida agreement shielding “potential co‑conspirators” barred her New York prosecution, a position rejected by the trial court and the 2nd U.S. Circuit.
• Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the justices to deny review, noting DOJ policy would have required approval for any agreement to apply outside the Southern District of Florida.
• The Justice Department and FBI said in July that a review of more than 300 gigabytes of records found no incriminating “client list” and no evidence of blackmail involving prominent figures.
• Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell under limited immunity over the summer, after which she was transferred from a Florida facility to a minimum‑security prison camp in Texas.
• Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, called the outcome deeply disappointing and vowed to pursue any remaining avenues on her behalf.
